Weingut Stefan Meyer - Ein Liter Silvaner 2024

The Meyer family has called Rhodt, a charming village in Germany’s southern Pfalz, home since the 1700s, but it wasn’t until 1950 that Karl Hermann Meyer founded the family winery and began bottling wine under his own name. Today, Stefan Meyer represents the third generation at the helm of this 16-hectare estate, carrying forward what he calls the “powerful tradition” established by his father and grandfather while embracing thoughtful innovation and modern winemaking techniques. The vineyards are situated in Rhodt unter Rietburg at the edge of the Palatinate Forest, where the combination of a warm, sunny climate and diverse sandstone soils provides ideal conditions for producing wines of ripe fruit, freshness and remarkable balance. All vineyard work is conducted organically, with the estate currently working toward Ecovin certification, while in the cellar Stefan allows his wines to ferment spontaneously, relying on native yeasts to preserve their individuality and build greater depth and complexity. The result is a collection of beautifully expressive Pfalz wines that marry the richness of the region with a remarkable sense of purity and finesse.

The Ein Liter Silvaner from Stefan Meyer may soon become a new house favorite. This easy-drinking wine has notes of peach, sweet clementine, and summer melon on the nose. The palate is light and refreshing with enchanting notes of pear, white peach, and citrus zest. Pair this with a roast chicken or take it on a picnic with sandwiches and potato salad.
